Sound Recorder freezes during start recording

[BertN45]

The sound recorder freezes during the start of a recording. The gnome sound settings utility also halted, because the volume bar halted. The gnome sound settings utility could be closed normally, while the gnome-sound-recorder had to be killed.

I tried to record sound from the host OS Ubuntu 17.10 in the Guest OS Ubuntu 18.04.

This is the warning message
Some code accessed the property 'application' on the module 'application'. That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.
